0:17:00 > 0:17:02So you now have four links.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- How are you going to cut your links? - Should we take the 1,000?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We'll bank the 1,000, yeah.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09So you're going to cut the four links on the 1,000 pod.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And with a satisfying splash...
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Whoa.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20That joins your 1,050 to make 2,050.
